This year, we launched Trashathon, an innovative twist on the classic “-a-thon” fundraiser—like a read-a-thon or walk-a-thon—where participants collect per-pound pledges for every pound of trash removed during a cleanup. It’s a simple idea that turns trash into cash.
We first piloted the program in April to raise funds for Biscayne National Park, collecting $10,000. We then integrated Trashathon into our annual International Coastal Cleanup Day in Miami-Dade County, raising $12,000 to date for our organization and our nonprofit partners.
Now, we’re opening the platform to schools, community groups, and nonprofits everywhere, giving them a new, engaging way to fund their projects while helping the environment.
If your organization is interested in hosting a Trashathon fundraiser, we’d love to hear from you!
